Grammar - Simple past

Simple Past (einfache Vergangenheit)

📝 rule (Regel):
You need the simple past to say what happened in the past (yesterday, last weekend, ...). In German we prefer the perfect tense for this.
Mit dem Simple Past kannst du sagen, was jemand in der Vergangenheit getan hat. Im Deutschen bevorzugen wir das Perfekt dafür.

💡 form (Form):
1. regular verbs (regelmäßige Verben)

You add an ~ed to the verb.
Du hängst an das Verb die Endung ~ed.

verb | + ed

You learned English last Friday. | Letzten Freitag hast du Englisch gelernt.
Last weekend he played football. | Letztes Wochenende hat er Fußball gespielt.

Last week a squirrel (it) watched Joyce. | Letzte Woche hat ein Eichhörnchen (es) Joyce beobachtet.
plural
Yesterday we learned English. | Gestern haben wir Englisch gelernt.
Last weekend you played football. | Letztes Wochenende habt ihr Fußball gespielt.
Last Monday they talked about music. | Letzten Montag haben sie über Musik gesprochen.

2. irregular Verbs (unregelmäßige Verben)

You must learn the simple past form of these verbs by heart. You can find some of the irregular past forms in chapter 4.4. "Irregular verbs" here and in your students' book.
Du musst die Vergangenheitsform des Verbs auswendig lernen. Du findest einige Vergangenheitsformen im Kapitel 4.4. "Irregular Verbs" hier und in deinem Schulbuch.

Bei regelmäßigen Verben, die auf ~e enden, wird nur ein ~d angehängt.

to like | → I liked it. | Ich habe es gemocht.
to dance | → She danced. | Sie hat getanzt.

When there is a short vowel and a consonant at the end of the verb, you must double the consonant in front of the ~ed.
Bei Verben mit einem kurzen Vokal und einem Konsonanten am Ende, wird der Konsonant vor dem ~ed verdoppelt.

to chat | → I chatted.
to stop | → I stopped.

📌 remember! (Merke dir!)

The verb to be has two past forms: was (→ he, she, it) and were (→I, you, we, they).
Das Verb to be hat zwei Vergangenheitsformen: was (→ he, she, it) und were (→I, you, we, they).

💥 signal words (Signalwörter):

yesterday, an hour / two days / ... ago, last week / Monday / year / ...

3. negative statements (Verneinung)

For negative statements you put the auxiliary verb didn't in front of the main verb (infinitive).
Bei der Verneinung wird das Hilfsverb didn't vor das Hauptverb (Infinitiv) gestellt.

I danced. | → I didn't dance. | Ich habe nicht getanzt.
He swam. | → He didn't swim. | Er ist nicht geschwommen.

Dear Grandma,

how are you?
Let me tell you about my last weekend:
On Sunday the weather was very good and I went to the park. I watched the ducks on the lake, lay in the sun and read a book. But then my friend Noah came along. He had a football and asked me to play with him. We started to play and I was the goalkeeper. However, after some time it got boring. Then we saw our other friends. Joyce painted a picture and Akira was on his skateboard. We asked them to join in and we had a football match all together. That was a lot of fun. After the match we sat under the big tree and ate some ice-cream.

I hope you also had a nice weekend.

Love, Nina
